In all reality, despite your claims otherwise, they formed the moderated
group mainly in response to Mark Morgan's hundreds upon hundreds of inane
posts that were more of a pestilence than a welcome addition to this group.
Mark is THE primary culprit, with one or two others bringing up a very
distant second and third place.
Your spin stops here.


Nope, go back and read the archives. The cronies originally put forth
the idea of a moderated group to exclude non-amateurs from having a
voice in an amateur newsgroup. That's where the idea come from. They
discovered it was "too hard" so one of the cronies proposed that he
would make a BBS. He decided that was "too hard." So they sat on
their duffs until someone else came along and did the hard work.
Morse Code is truly their only claim to fame.

BTW. Did you "reign" as in dominating power? Or "rein" as in any means of
curbing or controlling?
Mark would certainly fit the latter definition.


You'll have to go back up the chain and ask "assembly whiz" or whoever
wrote that.

Regardless, Robesin was the catalyst for most of the bad behavio[u]r
on rrap. If he had apologized for mining the web and bringing back
non-amateur related information to policy, and his incessant
outrageous claims and accusations.... He's a bad citizen no matter
what neighborhood he pops in to.

As despicable as many of Mark's posting were and are, they were the

suffered at the hands of Robesin, Wiseman, with the nod from the
cronies. Unfortunately, Mark's postings were necessary.

Everyone posts something off topic at some time or another, but a
select few incessantly posted objectional, despicable material.

That's been covered ad infinitum.

Anyway, Robesin is mostly absent from RRAP which is a good thing. If
only the cronies had suggested that he cool it with his incessant homo-

to MARS was attack material for that jerk...

Hmmm - that title sounds a bit like the first Twilight Zone episode!


Since the new moderated group was created (whose mission was to
improve communication and raise the bar on decency over the Policy
group), everyone seems to have disappeared. The moderated group is
virtually dead, containing primarily bulletins from Amateur groups
around the world and the odd post hare and there....and the Policy
group has degenerated into a "Mark vs the World" quagmire - quite
unfortunately for Mark.


With the exception of Dave Heil, who pops up from behind the ramparts
here occasionally to take a well placed shot at his old nemesis Mr.
Wiseman, no one seems to be left from the old crowd who regularly
discoursed in this group. Even N2EY's regular "ARS Numbers" posts
seem to have vanished into oblivion.

I'm here. I'm not interested in .moderated.


I do post some on-topic stuff, but no one wants to discuss it. For
example, the ARRL gets it's own MARS call:


Honestly more a RRAM topic than RRAP after why does the ARRL NEED a
Mars Call


Good question. Do you think they are just callsign collecting, or do
you think they knowingly placed themselves into DoD service?


honestly callsign collecting is my opinion

after all just who is going to put in the time required to earn that
Maras Call? Hiram Maxim back from the grave?


Welp, they have a paid operator. In addition to the training, will he
not send the w1aw morse practice 12 hours each month so he can meet
the minimum input for MARS?

sorryI forget the ARRL uses somewhat defferent rules

I suspect the reason why the .moderated group is dead is due to the
'standards' the moderators have decided to implement.

For example, I was recently banned from the .moderated group.

My "crime"? I had 3 rejected postings in a period of 4 months.


Now, I was a staunch supporter of the .moderated group (and still believe a
moderated group is a good thing.) I carefully went back and reviewed all the
discussion on the group creation, and didn't see anywhere that such silly
standards would be used. As the previous moderator of biz.sco.sources in the
mid 90's, I would have thought such quantitative standards were outright
silly.

Over the years, I have participated in many moderated groups,
comp.dcom.telecom being one I used extensively in the mid 90's when Pat
Townsend(sp?) was the moderator. I can't count the number of rejected
postings I've had from .telecom. Dozens. Yet, I never got any silly email
from him telling me I was "banned". Instead, my messages were either
rejected or simply never showed up. No big deal. That's his job, as
moderator. To steer the discussion. If my comments didn't with within the
discussion, it was his right to reject them.

I actually laughed out loud when I got the email telling me I was suspended
from .moderated on the basis of having 3 rejected postings over a 4 month
period. I don't know who created that idea, but that's some serious
anal-retentive tendencies there.

The most disturbing part of the entire episode is none of these 'standards'
were discussed up front. How many months have to go by before one of the
rejected postings falls off the list? What happens if you have 3 rejected
postings in 6 months? 12 months? 5 years? Do you still get banned if you
have 3 rejected postings over a 10 year period?

So, the reality is they are simply arbitrary ways for the moderators to
squash those with dissenting opinion.

No biggie, really. This summer I had to build a new barn, and right now I'm
in the process of rehabbing the single-pane windows in my 300 year old
ranch. Then I have to build wooden storm windows, and crawl into the attic
and insulate. All before winter hits. I check in here maybe once every 2 to
3 weeks. Moderated even less.

I think most people have moved on to bigger and better things. Why spend
time here when you can be operating on the air?

This forum has become a quagmire, pretty much singlehandedly at the hands of
the Mark Morgan, who somehow feels he has to spew a response to each and
every message someone posts, including his own, proclaiming he is a victim
(watch, he will feel compelled to respond to this posting as well, much like
Pavlov's dog.)

even i was willing to consider the idea

I carefully went back and reviewed all the

that aterail was sated here in RRAP when when I was banned form even
testing there moderation after to being expressly invited to do


As the previous moderator of biz.sco.sources in the
mid 90's, I would have thought such quantitative standards were outright

for once we agree


Over the years, I have participated in many moderated groups,
comp.dcom.telecom being one I used extensively in the mid 90's when Pat

it seems to have been Puals idea from the beginning but I truly don't
know

as I understand the matter 3 post over 50 years would get one banned

unless the server counting them crashed in the period


So, the reality is they are simply arbitrary ways for the moderators to
squash those with dissenting opinion.


as I said from the first


No biggie, really. This summer I had to build a new barn, and right now I'm
